XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Holden COMMODORE VF 2013-2017

The VF Commodore is a 1.8-tonne rear-drive saloon with a long wheelbase, a front-heavy LS layout, and the kind of body roll that’s fine on a B-road but starts writing cheques the standard dampers can’t cash once you’re three laps deep at Phillip Island or Winton. The VF’s MacPherson-strut front and multi-link rear were tuned for ride comfort first, and that compromise shows up as nose-dive under heavy braking and a lazy turn-in that asks too much of the front tyres.

The XYZ Racing Racing Spec coilover for the Holden Commodore VF 2013-2017 is built for owners who’ve outgrown that compromise. This is the track-and-time-attack kit in the XYZ range – the one developed against WTCC-derived data, not the fast-road option dressed up in racier marketing.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2017 Holden Commodore VF

Drop a Racing Spec onto a VF SS or SS-V Redline and the first thing you notice is the front axle finally answering steering inputs in real time. The kit pulls the ride height down, shifts the roll centre back into a usable window, and gives the front tyres a fighting chance of staying loaded through long, fast corners like Lukey Heights or the kink at Sandown. Under brakes for the hairpin, the nose stays flat instead of pitching onto the bump-stops, so the rear stays planted and the diff can actually put power down out of slow corners. Body roll drops noticeably, which means the outside-rear tyre wears evenly across a session instead of cooking the inside shoulder. For a heavy LS-powered saloon, that’s the difference between a fun car and a quick one.

About the Racing Spec coilover

Racing Spec is XYZ’s circuit-only damper, developed directly from data gathered in WTCC competition and validated across A-class and factory-style racing programmes. The damping curves are tuned for repeat hot laps rather than mixed road use, with higher gas pressures and stiffer valving than the Super Sport or Top Sport siblings in the XYZ lineup. The shock body, piston and shaft are specified for sustained thermal load – the kind of work that fades a fast-road damper inside half a session. Where Racing Spec really earns its name is the custom-build pathway: owners running aggressive upgrades, big-power LS builds, or chasing a specific circuit can submit chassis details and target tracks, and XYZ will spec bespoke shocks to suit. That’s a workshop service, not a tick-box on a configurator, and it’s the reason Racing Spec sits at the top of the XYZ track ladder.

Fitment for the Holden Commodore VF (2013-2017)

This kit is built for the VF-generation Commodore as sold from 2013 through to the end of local production in 2017, covering the Zeta-platform sedan, Sportwagon and Ute variants across the SV6, SS, SS-V and Calais grades. Confirm your chassis code reads VF before ordering – VE and VF share visual cues but use different damper specifications.
